      While that would be funny. I think he knows, and is well versed in managing risk. That's why he can handle not selling so many boxes at a time. If he doesn't have the capital at hand at that moment, he is pretty sure he can get it by the time the credit card bills come due. Likely due to some of his prior investments.
      This way he can hold onto the boxes for x amount of time as... an investment. Eventually they will go back up it's just a matter of time.
      Even if the floor fell out of mtg and all boxes went to near $0. I am fairly sure he would still be rich. Less rich, but still rich nonetheless. Why? Diversification. A lot of mtg stores starting out are over extended, putting all on black so to speak. That business model works so long as everything keeps going up and up and the market remains bullish. Any evening out, or downturn and they are caught with their pants down.

    @Konstantin100 Před 5 lety +1

    Just FYI, I work in the credit card industry and you shouldn't max out your credit limit and pay it off several times a month unless you have a well established relationship with that bank. Do that on a new account and you will trip all sorts of fraud flags, leading to major headaches all around. There are people who max out new cards, pay them off using fraudulent bank information, and try to repeat the process several times before the payments start being reversed. Credit card companies can lose thousands from this scam, so they can and will shut your card down if they suspect you of it.

    Tinfoil hat theory: Was it the introduction of high capital, poorly received masters sets that caused the smaller stores to close when they lost money, which was a higher amount than usual because products historically had been doing so well and they put more money than they normally would have into the high risk products? And then once the timmy stores got stamped out, only the big guys are left at the end and they make capital back anyway because they held/were able to hold onto some and are now on the back end of the appreciation of growth as the bad masters sets gain back value for speculative reasons.
    Economic survival of the fittest confirmed? Just another example anyway. Lesson - almost never make higher risk investments and just go with the flow no matter what comes out good or bad? Also, have capital.

Everyone is holding the newer boxes, and when they go to sell them in 10-20 years, the supply is going to be SO much greater. Not saying you wont make money. I just hope investors realize that fact.

    Buying 2000 boxes at 160 a box is 340,000... then sell ALL of those boxes at 200 a box gets you 400,000... that is 60,000 profit, which is A LOT of money but what a lot of people dont realize is how much work it is to distribute that many boxes and separate orders out to all of the people and the upkeep cost it takes to keep you and your business going, so yes a profit is made there, but I dont think people realize the final ACTUAL amount made after it is all said and done with costs
